Kronos Digital Entertainment was an American
3D fighting games,[1] Criticom, Dark Rift and Cardinal Syn (referred to as the "Trilogy of Terror" by one gaming journalist).[2] The organization later gained greater critical and commercial success for the Fear Effect series with Eidos,[2] although Kronos retained all rights to the franchise.[3] Kronos was busy developing the third installment in that series, Fear Effect Inferno, when publisher Eidos discontinued funding for the project following a major restructuring of their budget. The developer then shopped it around to other publishers but were unable to secure another deal to get the game finished.[4] The company disbanded soon after, with Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix
being their final released game.
